differently this time? >> reporter: well, craig, after that first debate, top obama campaign advisers said they were going to review and readvise their strategy. they're not giving us a whole lot of specifics about what that means but if you look at the first debate which was describedpy many as lackluster, they say they didn't seem to even gauge with mitt romney and wasn't aggressive, it stands to reason that's what they're going to work on, getting the president to come up with shorter, sharper, crisper answers to some of mitt romney's criticisms and be more aggressive in his own right. his greatest challenge is to not come off as being profess sorial. you can imagine over the next few days that's what they're going to be focused on. some things will stay the same. his debate partner will be john kerry and the coaches on the sidelines will include top obama campaign strategist david axelrod as well as consultants bob barnett, bob crane and anita walker. >> i can't remember where i read thr or heard this but someone was basically arguing the last time around it was difficult because the p

. the associated press today reports that obama's proposed tax increase reaches individuals making more than $200,000 a year and couples making more than $250,000 a year. and number three, there was biden's defense of the hhs contraception mandate. >> no religious institution, catholic or otherwise, including catholic social services, georgetown hospital, mercy hospital, any hospital, none has to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. that is a fact. >> laura: false. today the u.s. conference of catholic bishops rebuked the vice president noting that the so-called accommodation, the obama administration promised for catholic hospitals, universities, and other religious charities isn't an accommodation at all. they will all still serve as a vehicle for contraception, abore that face drugs and sterilizations because their health insurance premiums still will cover those services. now, ryan himself had some difficulty on the foreign policy questions and allowed, i think, the moderator to cut h

and taxes. >> it has never been done before. >> reporter: the candidates fought over whether the obama administration dismissed security concerns at the u.s. consulate in libya. >> we were not told they wanted more security. we did not know they wanted more security. >> reporter: it was topic number one, a charged moment in the night for the wisconsin congressman. >> ronald reagan -- >> oh, now, your jack kennedy. >> reporter: as predicted by the campaign, the vice president came out grinning, flapping, flailing arms. he was aggressive, attacking the republican ticket hard. >> we will have credibility on this issue. >> incredible. >> thank goodness we have these sanctions in place, in spite of their opposition. it has been discredited by studies, over 100 criminal investigations. >> reporter: along the way, the vice president cut in. >> >> mr. vice president, i know you're under duress -- to make up for lost ground. >> reporter: he talked about the auto bailout. >> when mr. ryan said that romney was a car guy, i thought well if they have them in an elevator, i guess he was. >> reporter

to trade. >> reporter: the obama administration asserted that doing such tough crackdowns on china could lead to a trade war of the fastest growing economy in the word and they said that mr. romney hasn't been entirely pure when it comes to doing business with china himself in his private life and private business experience. the romney campaign says it is all excuses and time for the u.s. government to stop putting up with china's trade practices and currency manipulation and romney says he would take steps on day one to correct that practice. >> the debate coming up quickly. right off the top we showed viewers governor romney in ohio from early talking about success and alluding to how much fun he had on the first presidential debate. now, a couple of days away from the next one and i understand he will be off the trail preparing for that. what else? >> reporter: that's right. talking about the debate last week has been one of his biggest rallying cries in front of big crowds ever since it happened. seems to have been a big huge momentum boost for mr. romney. he did debate prep with hi

description or any video at this time. now, we did hear from an obama campaign spokesperson who declined to comment on the incident and, of course, diverted it back to the police, the denver police and we are also hearing reports this morning that the secret service also diverted the questions to denver police. so, they really haven't heard of any threats against the obama headquarters at this time and this incident we're talking happened around 3:00 in the afternoon, 3:00 friday afternoon, yesterday. the one shot fired into the structure. people were inside the office when the shooting happened. luckily nobody was hurt and by early evening they had replaced that window and it is all back to normal. again is, t again, this morning, that's what we're waiting for. will police release vehicle description and some footage of that video there. >> we know police are reviewing surveillance video from that area. vida a, thank you very much. >> you bet. >>> now, to the actual campaign. mitt romney has been on roll since the first presidential debate. check out this new cnn poll of polls. mitt rom

need to understand exactly what happened. >> reporter: but back in the spin room, obama campaign manager jim messina said it was ryan who proved who was unprepared. >> he got past paul ryan's index talking card points and got to the details. >> reporter: romney will spend part of his weekend campaigning against ohio and the other in campaign prep. they agree the vice presidential debate didn't change the very much, it may have set a combative new tone for the next faceoff between romney and president obama on tuesday. >> jim, thanks. >>> let's get back to libya for a moment. it's become a focal point for the ryan/romney campaign. darrell issa was on "real time with bill maher" last night and he did not know about requests for more security. >> when vice president biden says, we didn't know about their need for more security in libya, he's only talking about the president and the vice president because, as it turns out, he doesn't hear what his own people say at the state department and all up and down sworn testimony. >> issa is the chairman of the house overnight committee that

, and general grievous. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] it's like we've run out of ways to make obama seem like a menacing "other." until tonight. folks, the report you're about to see is so explosive, that if you're not wearing socks, please go put some on. because i don't want to blow your feet off. [ laughter ] jim? i've been a fighter pie lot. i've run for president. i've been an astronaut. i've fought a minataur. i've seen things that would blow your mind. but this changes everything. on tonight's edition of this changes everything. you've heard a lot about obama. i think president obama is dangerous. >> he's a socialist who believes in the redistribution of wealth. >> he doesn't believe there's a fundamental right to have a handgun. >> he studied the koran at a muslim school. >> he will kill us all. >> stephen: but what you are about to hear will change everything. from deep inside long-term parking in portland, oregon, one brave patriot is about to expose the truth. [ laughter ] >> my name is andrew. i'm a lawyer in private practice in washington state. i have a injureis doctor. >>

the last jobs report which will come out just days before the election, president obama has already gained back all of those jobs that were lost on his watch. in fact, the department ofabor says it's about 325,000 more jobs, although the new jobs tend to be of a lower quality than the ones that were lost. that is often typical after a recession. what happens if obama wins again? that document i was telling you about, 2016, obama's america, it is the second highest grossing documentary in history, fahrenheit 911 was the highest, written by michael moore. this one paints a dire picture. >> obama has a dream. a dream from his father, that the sins of colonialism be set right and america be downsized. >> now, according to "the washington post," here's what the movie tells viewers. if the president is re-elected the world four years from now will be darkened by the clouds of economic collapse, world war iii and a terrifyingly ascended new united states of islam in the middle east. that view of what obama would do as hand called a deliberate distortion of the president's way of thinking about ut

. but both sides incorporate elements of the report into their own plan. president obama's plan is to stop deficits from growing faster than the economy. his budget would reduce the deficit to below 3% of total economic output 0 after a phi years. he would raise more revenue, about $1.5 trillion worth with the wealthy taking the biggest hit. the president would cut from discretionary spending, mandatory spending and defense. his plan doesn't address the rising cost of medicare, medicaid and social security. over the next ten years deficits would rise by $6.4 trillion. it's a good first step but budget experts say that's too high. mitt romney meanwhile has foc focused on the cuts. his economic plan, his plan avoids cutting from defense. mitt romney says he would pursue a balanced budge eight amendment that would require the government to spend only as much as it takes in. he said he would balance the budget by 2020, the end of his second term. mitt romney's issue is taxes. it calls to are a 250% cut to tax rates across the board. he said he would balance that out by closing loopholes and he

. and we need to understand exactly what happened. >> reporter: but back in the spin room, the obama campaign manager jim massena said it was ryan who was unprepared. >> he got past paul ryan's index talking points and into the details, and that is what the american voters wanted. >> reporter: and ryan will campaign in battleground state of ohio and the other half in debate prep. but most agree that the vice presidential debate may not have changed the polls, but it may have set a combative tone between romney and president obama on tuesday. randi and victor. >>> the fiscal cliff hits at the end of the year, but even if congress aeddresses the tax break, there is one that is certain to affect everybody. we bring in christine romans. >> yes, it is 160 million and it is the payroll tax holiday and it is a couple of years and it is real money in the paycheck every week and it looks like this is going away. i am telling you and if you are a working american, your taxes are probably going up next year. you won't get that payroll tax holiday and always meant to be temporary and stimulus in

chirts and churchs and hospitals. >> reporter: the fact is religious employers are exempt but it does apply to, say, hospital that is serve the general public. on president obama's proposed tax increase? >> people making $1 million or more -- . >> reporter: the proposal rolls back bush tax cuts on people making over $100,000 and couples $250,000 a year, and we found people commenting on the body language. >> i didn't like biden's reaction. and he is constantly smirking and laughing and showing his big teeth. >> he is comfortable and knowledgeable. he seemed very relaxed. >> the body language is so minimal. contrived. they're in suits, come on. >> reporter: 50 million viewers watched the debate compared to 70 million who tuned in for the joe biden-sarah palin debate four years ago. john fowler, ktvu, channel 2news. >> early polling after the debate show that people were split over who they think came out on top. a cnn survey found that paul ryan was the winner, but the numbers were well within the 5% margin of error and a cbs poll found that 50% thought biden won. >>> more doyle drive

for president obama. >>> also, a small town on edge in the wake of a prostitution scandal. the reported list of high-profile clients may be public. and our reporter tracked down the woman at the center of the case. >> i will call the police on you. >> i understand. >> you are trespassing. >> i just want to get -- >> she was not happy to see our john schriffen. >>> also coming up this morning, taylor swift getting personal in a new interview. she sings about breakups all the time. now, she's actually talking about falling in love. as we said, her new song is my new jam. we'll be right back. keep it here. when it comes to getting my family to eat breakfast, i need all the help i can get. i tell them, "come straight to the table." i say, "it's breakfast time, not playtime." "there's fruit, milk and i'm putting a little nutella on your whole-wheat toast." funny, that last part gets through. [ male announcer ] serving nutella is quick and easy. its great taste comes from a unique combination of simple ingredients like hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa. okay, plates in the sink, grab your b

, went before cameras to try and explain. >> to this day, we do not have a complete picture. >> reporter: the romney's team move, part of a search for undecided voters. team obama is doubling down on star power to sway that group. this morning, releasing an ad narrated by morgan freeman, showcasing what the campaign calls the president's conviction. later this week, former president bill clinton and bruce springsteen will stump in ohio for obama. and on thursday, the president joins jon stewart on "the daily show." it will be his sixth appearance and second from becoming president. but the performance that really matters is the one that comes next tuesday. the second presidential debate. mr. obama headed to williamsburg today, for a couple of days of practice. and mitt romney is doing debate practice this weekend. it is tuesday, the big time we see them in the second debate. >> indeed. a lot of democrats, especially, say those adjustments are key. >>> for more on this, we have john avlon, senior columnist for "newsweek" and "the daily beast." let's talk about benghazi. is this a potent i

window front of the obama campaign office. according to the reports that we have so far, there were people inside the campaign office at the time of this incident. which is in part what makes this a story of national significance. again, there reportedly were people inside the obama campaign headquarters when the shot was fired that broke this window at the front of the headquarters. thankfully no one inside, nobody involved in this incident at all appears to have been injured. the obama campaign is as of now declining comment on this incident today in denver. they have been referring all questions to the police. joining us now on the phone is denver police spokesperson detective rick lopez. detective lopez, thank you for your time tonight. we really appreciate it. >> sure. >> what can you add to what we understand so far about this shot fired at the obama campaign headquarters? >> sure. the information i can give you is that we received a call at about 3:00 p.m. on a criminal mischief in progress. when officers arrived they did observe a shot had been fired into the structure. like

to win ohio. you've got to get your friends to help us win ohio. >> reporter: that's why mitt romney is spending his second straight day in ohio, where 18 electoral votes are up for grabs. mr. obama won the state four years ago. now ohio is one of the states romney really needs to turn red again in order to make it to the white house. the republican presidential nominee holds two rallies in the state today and his running mate paul ryan also campaigns separately in the buckeye state. president obama was in ohio a few days ago. next week, bruce springsteen will team up with former president clinton to stump for obama in ohio. the race for the state is very close right now. take a look at this cnn poll, a poll that averages three surveys that were conducted entirely after the first presidential debate. it indicates the president at 50% of unlikely voters with romney at 47%. romney heads home to massachusetts tonight to get ready for tuesday's second presidential debate. and mr. obama heads to williamsburg today, not to campaign in the battleground state of virginia, but rather to go be

. >> reporter: hello. >> let's talk about this obama campaign tv ad that's new out there. what's in this thing? >> reporter: i think this is an effort to go back to the formula that worked for them over the course of the past few months. when the president was building up a big lead not only nationally but in the all-important swing states like ohio, like virginia. and alex let me warn you right away, if you start to hear sirens and things of that nature, a bit of commotion at the white house. that's because the president is about to embark on his trip, beginning his trip very close to here, williamsburg, virginia, about a two-hour drive south where he's going to be going to ground. another one of those debate camps, training camps if you will over the course of the next three days much like he did in another swing state of nevada leading up to that first debate. of course the president is campaign aides as well as the most die-hard obama supporters are hope, that he has a better performance this time. he's going to be there for three days. we don't expect a lot of public events on the schedul

to tuesday. >> reporter: on friday, evidence perhaps of the sharp political divide in america, as the obama campaign confirmed a gunshot was fired into his denver campaign office. no one was injured, and in the wake of the president's lackluster effort in that city ten days ago, which unsettled many democrats, some of the party's heaviest hitters seemed compelled to help him fight back. >> when mr. ryan said last night that governor romney was a car guy, i thought well, if they have an elevator stack of his counts, i guess he was. >> reporter: the dynamics of incumbent's two debates mirror those of george w. bush and vice president cheney. bush was considered the loser, creating an opening for cheney to come out swinging against john edwards in the vp debate. >> the first time i ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight. >> reporter: president bush ultimately won re-election, of course, the same result president obama is hoping for. now for fans of former president bill clinton and/or the boss bruce springsteen, you might want to head to the parma, ohio, area this tuesday. those

this tuesday. this as we learn that someone fired shots at one of president obama's denver campaign offices. nbc's ron mott is in youngstown, ohio. >> reporter: lester, good morning to you. surprise, surprise, we're back in ohio. that's how important this state is going forward. both campaigns spending a lot of time in the buckeye state. that's perhaps why we saw governor romney and paul ryan reuniting last night in lancaster, ohio. big crowd down there, about 8,500 jammed into the town square. but there is some ground to be made up for this campaign. polls show that president obama is still holding a lead over governor romney in ohio. but those polls also show that the governor is closing in, within striking distance now of the president. speaking of the president, he also was in ohio this week and admitted publicly that he had a bad night out in denver for that first presidential debate. obviously a lot of republicans and democrats agreed with his assessment. the president said he was too polite and that voters can expect him to see him being a lot more active in the second debate up at h

can't support anything that would try to weaken unions in this country. >> reporter: are you part of a union? >> no, i'm not. >> reporter: the legislative april lift's office estimates that the measure f passed, would cost $1 million a year to enforce. >>> the obama administration has approved more than 4500 applications for young illegal immigrants to stay in the country. the program is called deferred action for childhood arrivals. people who are approved to get work permits have not rejected any applications. officials are reviewing the fearly 180,000 applications filed since the program was announced this summer. >>> four out of five commissioners at the u.s. federal trade commission believe that an anti-trust case should be brought against google. according to the report from bloomberg, the four commissioners are convinced that google illegally used the dominance of the search market to hurt his rivals. the decision could come in late november or early december. google has repeat leed denied any wrongdoing. >>> workday executives were celebrating an excellent opening day on w
